Product catalog summary
Background
Filtration in winemaking is essential for removing solid particles, microorganisms, and other substances that can affect the wine's sensory characteristics and appearance. Depth filtration technologies have been used for centuries to ensure consistent and high-quality wines by increasing stability, preventing spoilage, and enhancing sensory quality.
The Challenge
The wine filtration process typically involves three main steps: coarse filtration, fine filtration, and sterile filtration. Each step is crucial for achieving the desired wine quality and varies depending on the wine type and style.
Filtration Steps
  • Coarse Filtration: This initial step occurs after fermentation or stabilization to remove larger particles such as yeast cells and tartaric acid crystals. Products like FIBRAFIX® AF coarse filter sheets are used for this purpose.
  • Fine Filtration: Aimed at producing a bright wine by removing remaining particles, preparing it for final or sterile filtration. FIBRAFIX® AF fine filter sheets and CLAROX® PL surface filter cartridges are recommended.
  • Sterile Filtration: The final step ensures the highest product quality and safety by securely removing spoilage organisms. FIBRAFIX® AF sterile filter sheets and CLAROX® MP/W membrane cartridges are used.
Optimized Solutions for Wine Filtration
The selection of the appropriate filter medium depends on the wine type and desired filtration level. FIBRAFIX® AF depth filter media is a well-established technology offering superior retention capacity and cost-effective performance. It provides easy handling, high efficiency, and consistent quality by securely removing unwanted particles and microorganisms.
Filter Presses and Module Housings
Choosing the right filter apparatus depends on the wine type, filtration level, and volume. Options include NOVOX® ST sheet filters, DISCSTAR® G vertical filter module housings, and SECUROX® filter cartridge housings, each designed for different processing needs and ensuring high flexibility, long lifetime, and minimal maintenance.
